Hi Mike, Bob, Francois,
Francois - Thanks for correcting the link. Actually, I thought I had it corrected but my broadband has been in and out and apparently failed right after I made the link correction. It's still "flakey" so I'm not sure if this post will "take" or not....
Bob, - yes the moisture on the rocks has brought out the strong moss colors and the tree would stand out better if the backdrop had less luminosity. I'll try to pull another frame and post it with the sky rather than the rocks behind the tree. I took several "perspectives" on this tree by climbing below and above it and shooting from different positions. Actually the changes are dramatic from one frame to another showing that what we eventually end up with in our frames has as much to do with camera position and the photographer's "vision" as with "reality."...
Best regards,
Lin
